Most of the costumed cartoon characters were killed off... by the Jews. But not before telling the kiddies to avenge their deaths.

Now it happened for real as the show's chicken, Karkour, died, supposedly in an Israeli air strike.

According to his brother, who wrote an article for Electronic Intifada, Mohammed Alareer, who played a giant chicken, was the 26th member of the family to die in Israeli attacks. That tells us that this is, unsurprisingly, a Hamas clan.

"The death of my brother will come as a shock to the large numbers of children," his brother wrote.

I doubt it.

Considering how often Al Aqsa kills off its crazy homicidal costumed characters, it would be more surprising to the kiddies if he didn't get blown up at some point.

I'm sure they'll just replace him with a giant skunk who will tell the kids to blow themselves up for Hamas. Meanwhile a giant chicken learned a lesson about telling little kids to die for Hamas.
